6I cannot I am sorry to say, find the post card & letter you sent me. I
7may do so when I pack today^, but am afraid the housemaid may have
8thrown them away^ I may add that of course I would not make any use of
9your friends letter in any arrangement I make as that would not be
10fair unle to you. ^unless I gave you the 10 per cent.^ I am going to
11accept an offer made to me when Peter Halket first came out, and which
12is still open. I enclose you a letter. I get many of the same kind,
13but always I reply that they must write to you, the arrangement with
14regard to Editions &c being entirely in your hands.
